General Information:
Prized for their arching multitude of seed plumes over tidy cascading foliage. Showy and easy to grow, they are lovely alone, in groups, and in containers. The slightest breeze produces movement. Great for drying and deer resistant. Good for hot dry spots. Ornamental grasses cannot be shipped to Oregon, sorry.

Plant Care:
Will grow in any soil provided it is well drained. Can be divided in late spring or early fall. Cut back in early spring leaving 3-5" of last years growth.
